Simon McConico | Valo Photography

I love Jon and Mel. Jon is my youngest brother and Mel is his wife. They live in Las Vegas and so when I was out at WPPI I got a chance to visit them. Mel just found out that she is going to have a boy and they are super stoked. I am getting married in 11 days and they are flying into Milwaukee in 9.

We went running around some abandoned field that was next to a cable company building and took some photos. I love being silly and when the folks I am shooting are silly. We had a great time and I am so excited to see them again really soon.

Oh… and if your wondering, Mel is a Ninja. She will kill you before you blink. Jon just hits stuff… (Not Mel, or he would be dead before he… well you get the point)

I’m in Vegas baby! Time to brush up my skills and hopefully learn lots of new things to help me be a better photographer. There is something to be said about becoming better at your craft. If you are washing dishes or are a CEO, you can always be better, brush up, and focus on your craft to enhance what you do. I am excited for what this week has to offer and what I can learn from it.

I am staying at the MGM Grand hotel thanks to WPPI who picked my video to win for their video contest. Went to a Plus class today with the great Kevin Kubota and was soaking in his great Hawaiian wisdom. If I get as many ideas and things to implement as I did today, my head will, undoubtedly, explode. Here’s to my head going Boom!

We shot a few photos with the class today and tomorrow we are going to work on them, but I thought I would post a few for you to see.
